An archival premium Quality Art Print of The Annunciation Prado Example by El Greco for sale by Brandywine General Store. The artist painted several versions of The Annunciation during his career, it is thought this one was painted from the period 1595 to 1600. This example is in the Prado Museum in Spain. This is one of seven paintings the artist finished for the Augustinian College of Nuestra Senora de la Encarnacion in Madrid. At the bottom of this canvas the terrestrial world is barely indicated by the steps, sewing basket and rosebush in flame. The flames are painted so naturally that they probably have appeared to mirror the real candle flames burning on the altar during the celebration of the Mass. Above and beyond El Greco has distorted light, color and form with all the forms being in a state of flux. The grand rhythm of the wings of Gabriel and the Holy Spirit quicken the drama. Garments of crystalline blue, crimson and yellow greens vibrate against the blue grey void. Incandescent light is reflected off the figures with such intensity that each seems to be its own source of light. Religious art print #55
